sdr dont you think something is missing here? I mean the listing history does indicate it was on the market as an active listing for awhile before marked as contingent and then marked down.

Given the nature of the buyers pool for this particular area, as well as the familiarity of the area with local agents, it would seem the listing brokerage is running a hell of a risk to double end this home with respect to someone filing a complaint and raising a fuss.

I am not saying this transaction is not problematic but given this environment, lack of inventory of quality and buyer demand for such a home indicate to me that something is being missed here.
